Words of Wisdom

When you come to the edge
Of all the light you know,
And are about to step off
Into the darkness of the unknown,
Faith is knowing one of two things will happen:
There will be something solid to stand on
Or you will be taught how to fly.

"We are one dreamer, dreaming of itself as many, in order to get to know itself. A fractal monologue of love, a mirror held up to another mirror, tunneling a message of love forever, because that's all there is." ~David Pedigree

"We are travelers in a cosmic journey - star dust, swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. But the expressions of life are ephemeral, momentary, transient. Buddha once said "This existence of ours is as transient as autumn clouds. To watch the birth and death of beings is like looking at the movements of a dance. A lifetime is like a flash of lightning in the sky." We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. This is a precious moment, but it is transient. It is a little parenthesis in eternity. If we share with caring, light heartedness and love, we will create abundance and joy for each other. And then this moment will have been worthwhile." ~Deepak Chopra

"Why do we sing? It's how we bless our lives. Our whole lives, the brokenness and the holiness, the joy and the sorrow, all of it, not just some of it, but all of it....Singing our lives is different from living them. It doesn't enhance the sacredness, but it acknowledges the sacredness. When we sing about grief, or longing, or hope, or joy, we become aware of the wonder and mysteriousness of our lives. Singing our lives is blessing our lives....There is power in the song." ~Sarah Campbell

Our task is to chant the world, chant the beauty. The world is a reflection or our chanting." ~Billy Yellow, Navajo healer.

"If you knew your potential to feel good, you would ask no one to be different so that you can feel good. You would free yourself of all that cumbersome responsibility of needing to control your mate, or control your child. You are the only one who creates your reality, for no one else can think for you. No one else can do it. It is only you. Every bit of it you." ~Abraham

"TO MY FELLOW SWIMMERS: There is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on to the shore. They will feel they are being torn apart and will suffer greatly. Know the river has its destination. We must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open, and our heads above the water. And I say, see who is in there with you and celebrate. At this time in history, we are to take nothing personal, least of all ourselves. For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt. The time of the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves! Banish the word 'struggle' from your attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration. WE ARE THE ONES WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR." ~Hopi Nation, Oraibi Arizona, September, 2001

"Give thanks for unknown blessings already on their way." ~Native American saying

""It's all so funny—how can you not be laughing?" ~A 6th Grade Child
